Probably because you're (explicitly) comparing dates to strings.

Compare dates to dates Smile

You're converting invoice_date to a string, and then matching it to some variables that you've converted to dates.
Compare dates to dates, not strings to dates.

Is INVOICE_DATE a date already? If it is, you don't want to be TO_DATE()'ing it.

CM: fixed typo on the word date.

So now you're converting a date to a date, which would be at best pointless.
Assuming invoice_date is a date you don't need to do anything to it.

i am setting following where clause:

but still i amnot getting o/p

I think is it problem with " ' "

'DD-MON-YYYY'

In this we need to pass sinle quote as i think so...how to pass this single quote..?

	set_block_property('FORMC', onetime_where,'where INVOICE_DATE >='||'to_date('||:search.inv_frm||','||'DD-MON-YYYY'||')'||
	' and INVOICE_DATE < ' || 'to_date('||:search.inv_to||','||'DD-MON-YYYY'||')');

Same as with all dynamic sql - 2 quotes to get one. In this case just removing most of the || should solve it.

set_block_property('FORMC', onetime_where,'where INVOICE_DATE >= to_date('||:search.inv_frm||',''DD-MON-YYYY'')'
||' and INVOICE_DATE < to_date('||:search.inv_to||',''DD-MON-YYYY'')');

However, if the quotes were wrong - you should have got an error, either on setting the where clause or running the query.

But, in the first message it is said that form's items are DATEs. So it would be

set_block_property('formc', onetime_where, 'where invoice_date >= ' || :search.inv_from ||
                                           '  and invoice_date <  ' || :search.inv_to
                  );

                  );

Wouldn't it just be:

set_block_property('formc', onetime_where, 'where invoice_date >= :search.inv_from and invoice_date <  :search.inv_to');
